Metering, Benchmarking and Beyond—Looking to the Future for Laboratory Energy Management
Wednesday, September 17
9:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
As many of today's private, publicly-funded organizations face cutbacks, measuring energy use through metering offers a tremendous opportunity to improve energy efficiency and cut costs. In this symposium, a panel of experts will examine the process of metering, the value of sub-metering, the need for benchmarking, and the role these play in supporting a growing national awareness of the relationship between energy consumption and global warming. Industry representatives will review several state-of-the-art metering and sub-metering technologies, the value they bring to owners and managers, and the short- and long-term view of the industry's progress. This assessment will be followed by a project-by-project review of the advantages and challenges of acquiring, installing, operating, and retrieving data from metering and sub-metering technologies by laboratory owners, representatives, and facility managers. A review of the functionality of the Labs21 Benchmarking Tool, will round out this discussion.
